The airworthiness directive
46-44-01 CESSNA: (Was Mandatory Note 1 of AD-768-4.) Applies Only to 120 and 140 Aircraft Serial Numbers 8001 to 9619, Inclusive.
Compliance required prior to January 1, 1947.
Remove the auxiliary rudder stops (two bolts) to eliminate the possibility of the flange of the bellcrank on the rudder bars catching on the bolt heads and locking the system. These bolts are at the center of the cockpit just forward of the rudder pedals. Removal of the fairing which forms a tunnel along the floor from the seat to the pedals is necessary for access to the bolts.
(Cessna Service Letter No. 2-140 covers this.)
